( any further protest dies in his throat. the kiss— he wishes it would’ve been longer. he wishes there would’ve been more. it’s enough to make him grab at esi again, his useful fingers still bloodied from proximity, smearing it across esi’s shirt. his pulls are as desperate as they are weakened, but he doesn’t need strength to convey his desires: come back, i need you. even such meager attentions are more than enough, when directed at a useless creature like him; perhaps it’s greedy of him to demand any more than what he’s gotten, but surely, his hand could be worth the trade?
at least— they’re more than halfway through, though the fragmented state of kirma’s mind can barely grasp all the implications that come along with that. there’s a blinding pain from his arm, but it seems to end sooner than it should; the scrabbling at esi’s chest only grows more frantic, the closer he gets to breaking through. his tail begins to thump against the bed in an erratic rhythm to accentuate things, a representation less of fondness or excitement and more the intensity of the conflicting surge of emotions within him. he wants it to stop— he wants this moment to last forever. as long as esi stays here, and as long as this is something he needs from him— that’s enough. )
Please, can you—
( kiss him again? can he be forward enough to ask that? the rest of the question, request dies off as a whimper. )
